This week’s #WeeklyIntegradivSp is a small passerine bird (𝘗𝘰𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘭𝘶𝘨𝘶𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘴).
Unlike some other birds, the Sombre tit does not stand out with bright and vivid colors, which means that it is easy to miss it. So, it might be there and we just have to look for it if we want to observe it.

Today let's meet 𝘘𝘶𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘶𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘯𝘪𝘧𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘢! This species endemic to Cyprus, where it is the national tree, is commonly referred to as the golden oak because of the outstanding golden color of the lower surface of its leaves.

Today on #WeeklyIntegradivSp we meet the Pearly Heath (𝘊𝘰𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘯𝘺𝘮𝘱𝘩𝘢 𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘢). It is found in forest edges, clearings, and grassy slopes throughout much of Europe.
The species name “arcania” is derived from the Latin arcanus, meaning secret or mysterious, maybe because of its flight and shy nature.

Today #WeeklyIntegradivSp let's meet 𝘗𝘳𝘶𝘯𝘶𝘴 𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘢! Although it is only found in the South Western Alps, its conservation status and ecology are not well known. To fill this gap, it is one of the species for which INTEGRADIV collected new samples, including some cool chemical analysis!

Today on #WeeklyIntegradivSp we meet 𝘊𝘢𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘴, the European roe deer 🦌
Found across much of Europe, this species is well-adapted to diverse habitats, but because it lives in small home ranges and depends on vegetation for cover and forage, habitat alteration can affect them strongly

Today on #WeeklyIntegradivSp we meet 𝘗𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘢, the Italian wall lizard 🦎
Found in Italy and the surrounding area. This species is highly variable, with up to 52 different subspecies. It is also present in islands, where individuals are smaller and have less sexually dimorphic body sizes

Today on #WeeklyIntegradivSp we meet 𝘚𝘤𝘪𝘶𝘳𝘶𝘴 𝘷𝘶𝘭𝘨𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘴 (“red squirrel”) 🐿️
In certain regions, red squirrels are threatened by the introduction of 𝘚𝘤𝘪𝘶𝘳𝘶𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴, which competes for food and may carry diseases (such as squirrelpox) that the native red squirrels are vulnerable to.

Today for #WeeklyIntegradivSp let's meet the endangered species 𝘊𝘺𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘶𝘴 𝘢𝘦𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘶𝘴! This species is one of the few legumes growing as a tree in the Mediterranean. The only place in the world where it is found is the Stromboli volcano where it forms forests in the middle of the sea!!

Today on #WeeklyIntegradivSp we meet the Balkan Marbled White (Melanargia larissa)! It inhabits dry grasslands, rocky slopes & open woods, is localized & sensitive to habitat loss 🎯
“Larissa” may refer to a Greek nymph: fitting for a butterfly gracing sunlit hillsides with elegance 🦋

The #WeeklyIntegradivSp list continues with one of the largest woodpecker species in the world, the black woodpecker (𝘋𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘤𝘰𝘱𝘶𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘶𝘴). These birds love to make their presence felt, as they are very noisy, and their drumming sound can be heard from up to 4 kilometers away!

Today on #WeeklyIntegradivSp we meet the Green Hairstreak (Callophrys rubi), easily recognized by its vivid green underwings.
Its green color is not due to pigment but to tiny wing structures that scatter light - a rare example of structural green in nature!
